Hillary Clinton is trying to put questions about her email server to bed

Hillary Clinton has taken another step toward quelling an email scandal that has threatened to slow down her 2016 presidential campaign.

Clinton has instructed her attorney to give the US Justice Department her private email server and a thumb drive of work-related emails from her tenure as secretary of state, CNN reported on Tuesday, quoting a campaign spokeswoman.

Clinton’s use of a private email account linked to a server in her New York home for her work as America’s top diplomat came to light in March and drew fire from political opponents who accused her of sidestepping transparency and record-keeping laws.
